DOVER It'EGATTA. (FROM oust, OWN coitattsrmaNT.) DovER, 22.—The weather proving favourable this morning for tn. Regatta, the necessary preparations were made at an early hour by the Committee, whose at tention and exertions haVe been unremittit% and are duly appreciated. The influx of visitors from the neighbouring towns, was prodigious, and before the hour of - starting for the first race the: beach, the Marine Parade,' and every house and situation affording a view of the bay, were lite rally crowded. With the exception of the second race, in which the Dover galley, Jackson, distanced her four opponents, each match was admirably contested, and afforded much enter taiturient. But the race that excited by far the greatest interest was the Sweepstakes between the three towns, Deal, Dover, and Folkstone. . A .great uncertainty prevailed amongst those best able to form an accurate opinion as to the winning boat. The respective crews had been selected with much, care, and each boat was freely backed by her own townsmen. Of the three we should perhaps • say -the Deal boat was rather the favourite at starting, the crew were composed of Irani , cularly fine men, and it was recollected that the number of . boatmen to select from was considerably greater at Deal than at either Dover or Folkstone. The start was beauti ful,' and for some time the-bbats continued bow and how. Ilhfore the course had been a third rowed over, the Deal 'teat gained on her two opponents, the Dover boat close behind her, and the Folkston -boat very near the (patter of the Dover galley. These situations were maintained during the race' and they came- in accordingly ; the Deal galley having, Surint the latter part of the contest, rather increased her advan « rage, and the Folkstone ;galley pulling in about a boat'S length behind the Dovee The Dover. boat sustained some trilling loss by - tht snapping of an our, hut the distance she suffered by the accident was by no means *al to die difference between her and the Deal galley on coming in. It may, therefore; be fairly said, the best boat has won. The respective prizes were delivered by Mrs. - Jenkinsou at the. Committee-room, in the'absenee of the Count ess of Liverpool, who, we regret to understand, was- prevented attending the Regatta by indisposition. • The Dutch frigate Maria Reigerabeigen. Railed early this morning for the Texel. Had she been detained another day in this anchorage she would have added to the beautiful scene the bay presented. • Sir Godfrey Webster's fine cutter yacht was at anchor close in, gaily dressed with he r co l ours , an d was d eservedly admired. We are happy to add, that the whole has passed off without accident. It is expected there will be a'very crowded and brilliant ball at the theatre this evening. THE TUNNEL UNDER THE THAMES. , The Tunnel will consist of two archways, and in order t hat there may be no obstruction to carriages,&c. those going from the north to the south shore rviJl pass through one, while those from the south to the north, through the other archway. Theie passages are to be Macadamized, and 'there will be distinct footpaths for foot-passengers. In the centre, between the two archways, and dividing the two rotuh, urea line of numerous arches of communication, spacious enough to admit of persons passing from one road to, the other,, and in each of these will be fixed a strong gas light. The approaches to the Tunnel will be by cu.- Oder descents; that on the south side of the river just below Rotherhithe Church ; and about two miles, from London-bridge, on the opposite shore, the descent will be at the eastern end of the London' Dock, in Old Gravel lane. The dimensions of the Tunnel are about 35 feet in breadth and 20 feet in height. The excavators are de fended frem any of earth, &r. by working in frames ectustructed so as to fill the whole body of the Tunnel.— These frialtie are divided into cells, and 36 men are thus milde to carry Mt the Pxywitnti6n with perfect safety anti celerity. As fast as the earth is excavated to its ppi;AF dimensions the bricklayt a follow, and' construct the a rt;; which forms the Tunnel. They are now passing throekh very strong blue clay, which almost assumes the qualitTes Ampe-clay, arid ifi equally capable of - resisting water. '['hi* strata of clay is supposed to rise 12 feet above the tno,r the archway; so that all thoughts of mitt carriage from any inundation are completely set at rest.— Tl!it Tunnel is, now proceeding with uncommon regularity, front 13 to IFlJect of it beiTig completed every week i and already L1P7 11 4 20,il feet of this great' undertaking is fin 44 of Li/era/um. MRS. WEST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, answer to a statement of Mr. West's, in your paper of Wednesday, I beg leave to say, the allegations which I was 1!lost reluctantly compelled to bring &ward . against 'him;for my preservation, were strictly true, as cau he well attested by the filthily in whose house I have resided for four years. With respect to the assertion of Mr. West beiwz ruined by, my family, I. here, declare it wholly untrue. My mother, indeed, has been with me for six years, with whom I found great comfort, and, when engaged in my professional duties, could rely implicitly on her management in my domestic concerns. My bro thers) it is well known, are on the stage, and have este blialime»ts of their own. At the time Mr. West left me ; for the purpose of paying his addresses to Miss Lawienee,, and reported his marriage' was illr.Wal, I, in an almost state of. distraction, most earnestly solicited the presence and interference of my father, whom I had not seen for seven years, who, with myself, aintde every inquiry respecting my marriage, rind found, to our, great satisfaetion, that it was valid. So far from My father being a dependent, he has always had it in his power to. be a better friend to himself than Mr. West would, or could have been ; besides, he would not have submittettto the idegradation. It is highly pailitid to my feelings to be obliged to make this public declaration of my domestic concerns : nor should had 'I not been loudly called upon by the assertions of Mr. West in the daily papers of Wednesday. Should he again say I have uttered falsehoods, and as I hold truth and in tegrity as the brighte4t ornament of life, I,shall, in justi fiCAtiOYl of myself, publith the whole of his correspondence with the lady its question, who most ingenuously deli vered the whale of his epistles into my posseNsiott. by inserting the above, you will greatly oblige, Your obedient servant, 24, Erydees-street, covent.gurden, SARAH WEST.

It appeared that they were confined on board the „his/ilia prison ship, lying► off Woolwich, and being s ent on shore to work in the dock-Yard, the sentinel on duty observed them jump into a bout moored alongside the yard, and attempt to make their escape he called out, desiring them to return, but the more he called, the stronger efforts they =he to get away. The sentinel then levelled his musket, and shot one of the convicts, named Gardiner, in the leg. The rest surrendered. IR ET,ANti, in a late Number we offered some remarks on the state of the Protestant Church establishment in Ire hind. We are glad to find that our remarks have ex cited attention on the other side of the water, and have beenlitn little amused to find the Editor of the p Kil ken independent, in his gaper of Sept. 16, favour ing his readers with a truly elegant and most Hibernian tirade against our article aforesaid. We must lighten our readers with one or two of his las. lii tire first place, ,the writer of our article in the Sun is more properly 7 designated " the man in the moon !" In the next place, we are accused of " weakness " in heading our article with the intelligence about Dr. Jebb ; and of " temerity " in asserting that he is the author of his works. We are next informed, "the Episcopal lands" are a curse, and 'an iniquitous and and oppressive impost upon th e cou n try ! and that the Bishops possess thousands of acres, to therejti dice of the prosperity of th e na ti on : (Q uere , How?) Furthermore th e indi c t men t sa ith, t h at we have main tained tithes to be a remuneration for services ; and, in the same sentence, that we maintain a tithe-holder to be virtually a /and-holder ; and, again, that tithe is rent, not land : in either case, not a remuneration : that is, that we maintain tithe to be a remuneration and tio . t a remuneration at the same time. Further more, says Paddy, If the tithe he paid for duties an, nexed,. it is not a remuneration : Quere, What then is it,? He also conceives the advantage of:scholars being resident in,the country, in reference to the diffir sion of civilization, to consist in their being able to make and recite to the people Greek sapphics and Latin hexa meters ! And the reference we made to the civil ser vices which the Protestant established Clergy discharge even to a Catholic population, he summarily discusses as " a funny argument." To ourselves, we can only say, his whole article appears much more thinly. The next time he vouchsafes to notice us, on the tithe question, we will thank him to give a distinct explana' Lion of this point ;----when a person leaves an estate charged with an annual payment (suppose for a cha ritable institution), is that annual payment the pro perty of such institution or not ? is it a tax upon the owner of the estate, or upon the fanner who may rent it ? has it any thing to do with rent or value, or any other question in the whole range of political eco nomy ? Such, according to our ideas, is the question respecting tithe, whether in England, Ireland, or any where else. RUSSIAN CONSULATE, SEPT. 22.

I hung o'er the side of the vessel while'cleaving Mid the blue rolling waters her pathway of light ; Behind was the white silver track she was leaving, And before her the billows lay buoyant and bright.

(From ihd 6-ftrier Francais.) ON THE TREATY OF GULISTEN, hETiVEEN PERSIA AND RUSSIA. Rita; Styr. 19:—The inVincible tendency to aggran di:Janet% which pushes the Russian empire towards the Southern countries, menace; less than Turkey; and If these two Pbwers had :I?:ettecViderstOod their inte rests; for the last two ages so, 'eirwtiintly and narrowly United, they should hait ssCrificed - their respective preju for, the purpose of defend dices, sptinging out of , ing the cause of Islarrttsi iigainst a airtittion enemy. In stead of this conduct, these two Powers, so full ofpride, and so void of foresight, have inaile,,witr on each other at all times that it was convenient; for any of the great Powers ot the. West tti embroil theM against each other. While Peter the First, profiting by the revolt of the Afghans, who desolated Persia, invaded, =tar the tildst frivolous pretext, the frontier I)l64M:es of that empire. Turkey, so far from succouring her natural ally, thought only of extending her owh lijnits at her expence, and thus allowed the Czar to possess himself tran quillity of the . vast territories of Dog-Lestan, Schirvan, Ouilan, Mazeridaven,and'A.sterabat. There had been, indeed, some vais in the bivan in support of the party that advised the path. of honour as well as policy, but these voices, conscientiously Mussulmen, were overpowered by the influence of the French Ambassador, M. a Bonnar.— What interest; then, had France herself in preventing Turkey from joining Persia, to opp ose a b arr i er to t h e am bition of Russia ? Was she not the first dupe, in a man ner, of Viewing the future absolutely contrary to her inte rests ? The provinces cif which we speak, even the cities of Derbent anti Billion, remained then with Peter the First. Restored in 17'30y the Impress Anne, to the fortunate Thomas Kouli4Chati, they were retaken under Catherine, and ever since trey have been a perpetual subject of con tention between the two Powers, Persia being able, at her pleasure to provoke an insurrection of the mountain tribes of the Caucasus, and particularly of the warlike popular tions Cardistan and Leghistan would, for the same reason, have been able to eternize the quarrel, if she had known how to have retained Georgia in her in terests. But Christian Georgia, in the midst of these Mussulmen tribes, and constantly at war with the Turks, as well as with the Persians, adopted the decision in despair of their cause, to give themselves up to Russia. Heradius, King of this country, and of those countries that depended on it, such as Mingrelia and Abhkasee, made his act of submission to the crown of the bars in 1783. In spite of the protection of Russia, Teflis, the capital of Georgia, was taken and sacked, by the Persians in 1795. At the same time, Paul the First, being definitively de clared direct Sovereign of Georgia, and havirg caused to be brought to St. Petersburgh the wrecks of the dethroned' family, Russia had thenceforward, as it were, a fete du pont over the Persian provinces. The definitive incorporation of Georgia with the Empire was accomplished under Alexander. The Ukase of the 24th September 1801, which consecrates this requisition, had its motives express. ed in these terms ‘, We have consented to the union of Georgia with Russia, not for the sake of augmenting our own power, nor from interested views, but solely for the establislithent of justice, and for the security of persons and property." . After the Tre•tty of Tilsit, which appeared to unite, for a moment Frame, Russia, and Turkey—since the inte rests of this last had been specially stipulated for, Persia, yielding to the solicitations of the English Ambassador, Mr. Morier, recommenced' hostilities; but this was fruit less. Napoleon was dreaming on his part, and, unhappily, much too late for the party whoni he was to draw away from this power. He sent, in 1810, Get). Gardane to Fed) Ali Khan. Already was an European military or ganization prepared at Teheran while all these measure* •were interrupted by the events of 181.4. Discouraged. by tl►e misfortune► of her new anti powerful ally, Persia abtm &med. these pprovinces, which she believed she would nor be able to defend* wititout foreign. assistance, and the Treaty of Gulisten wag coniluded. From this rapid sketch of the events which have inipos . ed on Persia the treaty of Gulisten, t.may be judged whether Russia has redly cause f astwiishment,.. on finding Persia disposed to break this treaty as soon as she .finds a favour 'able opportunity. But it may be asked does such present itself at present ? To resolve this question it would be ne cessary to know exactly what is the relations between Persia and England; what' were the promises made, and what , the obligations contracted by the latter Power at Teheran. However things may turn, out, one circumstance is certain, that-Persia is too sensihle of her military infe riority, ever to begin a combat without well knowing on what resources she Might adculate to supp or t her through it. To return to the Treaty of Oulisten. It has made sacred the spoliation of territory, against which Persia had contended for a hundred years ; and it is at the same time a treaty of commerce, by which Russia obtains the privilege of exchanging the produce of her icy regions— tar; hemp, smoked fish—wretched commodities indeed— for the exquisite wines, voluptuous perfumes, coffee, , various kinds of fruits, splendid assortments of silks, rich cottons, and the precious wool of Persia. And 'what does Russia give to Persia. for so many advantages now and hereafter? She gives nothing. What then does she promise to give ? Oh ! Russia has always plenty of that —promises. She says that "In ease of need she will lend her aid and assistance to that son of the Shach of Persia who shall be named heir to the Persian empire, so that no foreignour of Peria may b e 10l Power s ma y interfere ifit u d by theithPeralaaL and that the Cassistance of the commentary Court of Russia." Russia. " Aicnhy ca the invidious tendency o f w h e h n i t Len y ofir'oa cl a use, t a to u b se o ' dy, would be quite super 7 &ono. Such then is the Treaty of Gulistm'which the Persians are accused of having violated. Nevertheless, as this' violation does not seem to have consisted in any thing else than the incursions of the tribes of Caucasus, the ourt of Teheran may be able to give a satisfactory ex planation, anti tints exculpate itself from any participation in the acts of these brigands. however, thi s l a n gua g ge of good faith, or of weakness, be not sufficient, it *should be remembered,—and we are fiee to say so, for his matter of history—it should be re membered, that 10ng e 5,46, -- .44 - e tyre abiolute submission of the Tartars of th.e Crimea, when Russia wished to make war against the Turks, she had always some complaints to make of the 6r igandage (rapine) and. incursion of the Tar tars on her undefined bOundaries. Should we be asked, how, considering the crisis, as regards her own domestic affairs, in which Russia is placed, she can think of. war, we shall only observe, that foreign warfare is frequently a very good means of av o idi ng civil war at home.

We have since received the other French Papers, of the same date, from which extracts will be found in a preceding column. The courier Francais gives a very sensible article upon the treaty of Gulisten, between Russia and Persia, the principal conditions of which it comments on with much liberality and freedom. It will be seen by this treaty that Russia gained every thing and Persia nothing—where then is the wonder that Persia should seize the first opportunity fin- recovering some of the substantial benefits which she before enjoyed ? The conditions of a treaty between two Kingdoms, if founded upon injustice to one of the parties, cannot be more binding than the terms of a private contract between individuals, where one party makes a profit at the expellee of the other. But such bargains can last only as long as the weaker party is unable to assert its due rights. Nothing is more pernicious than an over ,. reaching disposition to take all, merely because chance or the peculiar nature of circumstances, enables the stronger party to take advantage of the weaker. Russia, true to the grasping principles of her ambition, first seized on certain provinces of Persia, and then retained them as a matter of policy, on the vague plea of state necessity, or some other plea equally insidious. Persia submitted, for the best of reasons, that she could not help herself, but demands the restitution of her rights the first moment she conceives herself in a condition to enforce them. It were, how. ever, idle to suppose, that Persia could contend single handed with Russia, or that she would provoke the vengeance of such an antagonist, unless supported in directly by a-more . efficient Power. The observations of the French Editor on this subject are so much in unison with ourown views, that we cannot do betterthan refer the Reader to , them, merely observing, that Russia would consult both her own interests and those of other Countries, by << letting . well enough alone:r for, she may find, when too late, that an extension of territory will only weaken instead of augmenting her power. The lamentable story of a young lady from the neighbourho o d o f H ampstea d M u i r, ' w hi c h we h ave given in anoth er part of this paper, is one of those nar ratives, the pe rusa l o f w hi c h m i g h t g i ve warm th t o th e coldest heart, and e l oquence t o the tamest pen,—the warmth of Passionate pity a nd burning resentment,— the eloq uence o f angu i s h e d l amen t a tion over the victim, and bitter invective against the destroyer. On such a topic, and till both sides have' been heard,—if indeed the other side will venture to claim a hearing,—we are fearful o f t rus ti ng o urselves in any effusion of feeling; nor perhaps is this the proper moment even for touch ing the subject in the w ay of discussion. In i m it a ti on of venerable even irronl authority, good words, or from what we ought possibly to hold ou/ - peace appear to us such but the circumstances of this t rag i ca l ta l e confirm certa in view s of the sta te of the law th a t h ave long been fam iliar to us ; and, under the excitement of : such an occurrence, our suggestions may probably ob . tain a more careful hearing than they would be likely to command after the sensation should have subsided. The law of Scotland, on the subject of inarr:age, seema in some points sufficiently preposterous. Surely it is_ absurd, and it is more than absurd, that the most sacred and Awful contractlriteavltich two human beings can mutually enter, shodhlrequire to he auspicated by far tot' ver and lighter solemnities than some of the most ordinary transfers of property. The question asked with reference to a similar case in the old play, " tamne rent tam ncgligenter agere ?" is Immediately applicable to certain of the forms (if forms they may be called) of matrimony, permitted, though not Au thorized, by the Scottish system of jurisprudence. But, having made this observation with all freedom and all respect, we cannot help thinking that, in one patthwlar, the framers of Marriage-laws in E»gland might most usefully receive a hint from the regulations of the sister kingdom. The value of that hint will he' estimated at once from this simple statement, that , taking the tragical occurrence that has given rise ie. these remarks to be exactly as stated, such an occur* rence could not possibly take pl;:re under the opera. lion of the law of Scotland. By that law, sedadi on, on a promise of marriage, is impossible. The 60e cess of the villain who means such a crime , floe itself complete the marriage ; the injury which be meditat es' recoils on himself ; the intended prey to his hearties) wickedness becomes ipso facto his lawful wife ; E n? the contract, into which he solemnly but friudnienilY. entered, is at once, and . according to the striciest Pr in. ciples of justice, indefeasibly carried into effec on t , Surely it may be worthy the considerati of the legislature, whether. a rule 'so simple a nd so efficacious as this might not with infinite advantag e disappointment of many atrocious schem es, and the preservation of many hearts from breaking -10 duced into the English Statute-hook. I t is of row° a supposed that the proof of the promise o f • marrig e must be strict. Placing the case on the. l o west poss ible ground, it falls within the obvious operation of t hat that wher e well-known principle of justice and .equitY, —with th e then, an agreement has once been deliberately mad e' • ofi if it be so far acted upon as that the contracting p s rLif' or either of them, cannot be complet el Y e t shall be their respective situations, the agreern .t• the want held valid and complete, notviithstanuing • by the of certain adjunct formalities r e q ui re d A whieb law. But what instance can be a the parties are so irretrievably Com m: tted as one of the re acting on the inchoat e agreement, reinstated in . ties in this instance ? It is not that the unhapPY : She has i n* tim cannot he replaced in statu quo. her all. The difference is between a valid contract 0" the one hand, and utter desolation on the other. of If it be said that even the weaker party , in C3CB, seduction is not free from moral fault--the posi tl° ` must be admitted. Even arguing on that foonagv however, a great deal might be said on the .conll'are" tive delinquency of the two, supposing the tran s g es' , stun contra Lonos shores to be equal, we have to a dd ' on the part of the sedbcer, the very blackn,s.l jury. But the truth is, that no question , of the eD d arises. Once pass such a law as that of Sc otland and there is an end of crime on both Bidet. I t "' li be perfectly known, that neither of the ag ents co uld assume the contract to be complete, without 04° •making it so. Thus, the very occasion o f offence would be cut off; and this is not one of th e least' te': commendations of such' a rule. On the whole, n• deed, it seems to us, that such a rule mu st aei'ib diminish the mass both of crime and of mis er y ; place a barrier round youthful innocence ; and ° P e ' s" h lk; as a material safe-guard to the peace and the oele k of families. mu E ut xtr , _ ..... ac o t u of ti a le let 2 te 2d r f u r f om se a p p t ;: e n r g , er fr l u a tri nd N ed : v i posted up at the North and South Americo Cmirre. house 1 , -- " I do not know it may concern any d n'Y frien- Y di rk il : London to know, that the day before we l eft New ° Idle the 29th August, intelligence had arrived there„gh of disembarkation of sor 6000 troops from 113."6,—, i i i;h ' the Mexican coast of Panuco, from a Spanjob _L a d." s t sii remained off the coast.
